Notes
Chris"s Thanksgiving Notes on doubling the recipe: I doubled everything as I had 2 lbs of green beans (fresh organic pack from Costco); used very little onion (maybe 2 Tablespoons); added 2x more chicken broth, cooked for 40 minutes not 20 minutes, until happy with bean texture/crispneess. They were still hard after only 20 minutes.
